The Ninth Hymn to Agni
DIVINE WILL ASCENDENT
FROM THE ANIMAL TO MENTALITY
[The Rishi speaks of the birth of the divine Will by the working
of the pure mental on the material consciousness, its involved
action in man’s ordinary state of mortal mind emotional, nervous,
passionate marked by crooked activities and perishable
enjoyments and its emergence on the third plane of our being
where it is forged and sharpened into a clear and effective power
for liberation and spiritual conquest. It knows all the births or
planes of our existence and leads the sacrifice and its offerings
by a successive and continuous progress to the divine goal and
home.]

1. Thee the godhead mortals with the oblation seek, O Will;
on thee I meditate who knowest the births; therefore thou
carriest to the goal our offerings without a break.

2. Will is the priest of the oblation for man who gives the
offering and forms the seat of sacrifice and attains to his
home; for in him our works of sacrifice converge and in him
our plenitudes of the Truth’s inspirations.
